Any embodiment or design scheme described as "an example" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present invention should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. To be precise, the words such as "an example" or "for example" are intended to present a related concept in a specific manner.
[0021] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments provided by the present invention may be applied to a wireless communications system. The wireless communications system may be a fifth-generation (5th generation, 5G) system, or an evolved long term evolution (Evolved Long Term Evolution, eLTE) system, or a later evolved communications system.
[0022] FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a network system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the network system includes a transmit terminal 11 and a receive terminal 12. The transmit terminal 11 may be TX UE or a transmit node, and the transmit terminal 11 may be a mobile communications device, such as an in-vehicle terminal, a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), a mobile internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), or a wearable device (Wearable Device). It should be noted that a specific type of the transmit terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. The receive terminal 12 may be also referred to as RX UE or a receive node. The receive terminal 12 may be a mobile communications device, for example, may be an in-vehicle terminal, a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), or a wearable device (Wearable Device). It should be noted that a specific type of the receive terminal 12 is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] The network system provided by the embodiments of the present invention is an SL network system, and the SL may be referred to as a sidelink, a secondary link, a side-link, a side link, a direct communication link, or the like.
[0024] In the SL network system, one RX UE may perform SL transmission with at least one TX UE. For example, in NR V2X (Vehicle to everything, Internet of Vehicles) shown in FIG. 2, one RX UE (UE-A) may perform SL transmission with two TX UEs (UE-B and UE-C).
[0025] There are mainly two SL resource allocation manners, one is scheduling by a network-side device, and the other is autonomous selection by a terminal. With regard to the resource allocation manner of scheduling by the network-side device, a sidelink resource used by the terminal for data transmission is determined by the network-side device, and is notified to the terminal (for example, TX UE) by using downlink signaling. With regard to the resource allocation manner of autonomous selection by the terminal, the terminal may select an available transmission resource from a configured (or preconfigured) resource pool. The terminal performs channel monitoring (sensing) before resource selection, selects a resource set with less interference based on a channel monitoring result, and then randomly selects, from the selected resource set, a resource for transmission.
[0026] With regard to the resource allocation manner of channel monitoring-based autonomous selection by the terminal, due to inaccuracy of channel monitoring results and randomness of resource selection, transmission resources of a plurality of (including two) TX UEs may collide, and consequently the RX UE cannot demodulate signals of the TX UEs. As an example, the following describes two resource conflict scenarios.
[0027] Scenario 1: When the plurality of TX UEs perform periodic data transmission, periodic resources selected by the plurality of TX UEs collide continuously, and consequently the RX UE cannot receive information for a relatively long period of time. For example, in FIG. 3, UE-B and UE-C send periodic data to UE-A, and periodic resources selected by the UE-B continuously collide with periodic resources selected by the UE-C.
[0028] Scenario 2: Due to defects of the channel monitoring mechanism, during channel monitoring, the TX UE cannot detect information sent by some other TX UEs and only the RX UE can detect the information sent by those TX UEs. For example, when there is a hidden node, the TX UE cannot detect information sent by the hidden node while only the RX UE can detect information sent by the hidden node. In this case, the TX UE may have a high probability to select a resource occupied by the hidden node, resulting in a resource conflict. For example, in FIG. 4, UE-C is blocked by a building. When UE-B is making resource selection, the UE-B cannot detect a reserved resource of the UE-C due to blocking of the building. As a result, the UE-B may select a same reserved resource, causing a collision between the resources of the UE-B and the UE-C, and consequently UE-A cannot demodulate signals of the UE-B and the UE-C.
[0029] In view of this, in order to resolve the problem of a collision between transmission resources in the SL network system, the embodiments of the present invention provide a sidelink transmission control method.
[0030] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a sidelink transmission control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the sidelink transmission control method is applied to a transmit terminal (that is, TX UE), and the method includes the following steps.
[0032] The trigger condition for resource reselection may be construed as a condition for triggering the transmit terminal to perform resource reselection.
[0033] The transmit terminal may perform step 201 in a resource conflict scenario, that is, when detecting a resource conflict or being notified of a resource conflict by other terminals (for example, a receive terminal RX UE), the transmit terminal may determine whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied.
[0034] Step 202: Perform a first operation in a case that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, where the first operation includes at least one of resource reselection, MCS adjustment, and power adjustment.
[0035] The MCS adjustment is modulation and coding scheme (Modulation and coding scheme) adjustment.
[0036] In step 202, in a case that it is determined that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, the transmit terminal may perform an operation of resource reselection, that is, the transmit terminal may perform resource reselection, in other words, the transmit terminal may reselect a resource; or the transmit terminal may perform an operation of MCS adjustment, that is, the transmit terminal may perform MCS adjustment, in other words, the transmit terminal may adjust an MCS; or may perform an operation of power (TX power) adjustment, that is, the transmit terminal may perform power adjustment, in other words, the transmit terminal may adjust a power.
[0037] For the resource reselection operation in the foregoing operations, because the transmit terminal reselects the resource to avoid a resource conflict, thereby better resolving the problem of resource conflicts. For the MCS adjustment operation or the power adjustment operation in the foregoing operations, an operation of decreasing an MCS may be performed, or an operation of decreasing a power may be performed. In this way, a code rate of data transmission is reduced by using a lower MCS or a lower power, so that data transmission can be still implemented on a conflict resource. Normal data transmission can be better ensured even if the transmit terminal does not reselect a resource, thereby better resolving the problem that data transmission is affected by resource conflicts.
[0038] In step 202, the transmit terminal may perform any one of the foregoing operations, or may perform a plurality of operations in the foregoing operations. The transmit terminal may autonomously decide a to-be-performed operation, or may decide a to-be-performed operation according to a rule predefined by a protocol, or may decide a to-be-performed operation according to a rule configured by a control node, or may decide a to-be-performed operation according to a preconfigured rule.
[0039] In step 202, in resources selected by the transmit terminal, if only part of the resources collide, the transmit terminal may perform the first operation on at least the conflict resource.
[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present invention, in a case that it is determined that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, the transmit terminal may perform the first operation, or may not perform the first operation. The transmit terminal may autonomously decide whether to perform the first operation, or may decide, according to the rule predefined by the protocol, whether to perform the first operation, and may also decide, according to the preconfigured rule, whether to perform the first operation.
[0041] In this embodiment of the present invention, in sidelink communication, when there is a resource conflict for the resource of the transmit terminal, the transmit terminal may perform resource reselection or perform related adjustment in the case that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied. In this way, the transmit terminal can address the problem of resource conflicts through resource reselection or related adjustment, thereby improving reliability and effectiveness of sidelink transmission and ensuring sidelink communication performance.
[0042] Optionally, the performing a first operation in a case that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied includes:
in a case that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, determining whether the receive terminal is located within a valid communication range; and
performing the first operation in a case that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range.
[0043] Optionally, in a case that at least one of the following conditions is satisfied, it is determined that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range:
the transmit terminal has received reverse information from the receive terminal;
a distance between the transmit terminal and the receive terminal is less than or equal to a ninth threshold; and
an information transmission energy of the receive terminal is greater than or equal to a tenth threshold.
[0044] If the transmit terminal can receive reverse information transmission from the receive terminal, for example, PSCCH, PSSCH, or PSFCH transmission from the RX UE to the TX UE, it may indicate that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range. If the distance between the transmit terminal and the receive terminal is less than or equal to the ninth threshold, and the ninth threshold may be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured, it may indicate that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range.
[0045] If the information transmission energy of the receive terminal is greater than or equal to the tenth threshold, for example, a parameter such as a reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP), a received signal strength indicator (Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI), a reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ), or a signal to interference plus noise ratio (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, SINR), and the tenth threshold may be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured, it may indicate that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range.
[0046] An RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, or SINR value of the receive terminal may be reported by the receive terminal to the transmit terminal, or may be obtained through measurement by the transmit terminal.
[0047] In this implementation, in a case that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, the transmit terminal may further determine whether the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range, and the transmit terminal performs the first operation only when the transmit terminal determines that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range.
[0048] In this implementation, whether the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range is determined, so as to determine whether the transmit terminal needs to perform the first operation. In the case that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range, the transmit terminal may perform the first operation to resolve the problem that data transmission is affected by a resource conflict. The transmit terminal may not perform the first operation in a case that the receive terminal is located beyond the valid communication range.
[0049] In this embodiment of the present invention, the transmit terminal determines, in a plurality of manners, whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied. For example, for sidelink transmission (SL transmission) based on hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request, HARQ) feedback, the transmit terminal may determine, based on a HARQ feedback status of the receive terminal, whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied. In other words, for sidelink transmission based on HARQ feedback, the transmit terminal may determine, based on the HARQ feedback status of the receive terminal, whether a resource conflict occurs, so as to determine whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied. For another example, the receive terminal may determine, based on the channel monitoring result, whether there is a collision for the resource of the transmit terminal. In a case that the receive terminal determines that there is a collision for the resource of the transmit terminal, the receive terminal may send a notification message to the transmit terminal, and the transmit terminal may determine, based on the notification message sent by the receive terminal, whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied.
[0050] The following describes an implementation of determining whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied in sidelink transmission based on HARQ feedback.
[0051] Optionally, the determining whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied includes:
if sidelink transmission is transmission of N transport blocks (Transport Block, TB) based on HARQ feedback, determining, based on a HARQ feedback status from the receive terminal, whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
[0052] Sidelink transmission based on HARQ feedback helps improve reliability and effectiveness of transmission. For example, HARQ feedback may be introduced in NR V2X. As shown in FIG. 6, the transmit terminal (TX UE) sends data information (Data) to the receive terminal (RX UE), and the receive terminal determines whether the data is received successfully. If the data has been received successfully, the receive terminal feeds back an acknowledgement (ACKnowledgement, ACK) to the transmit terminal; otherwise, the receive terminal feeds back a negative acknowledgment (Negative ACKnowledge, NACK) to the transmit terminal.
[0053] Sidelink transmission supports unicast (unicast) transmission, groupcast (groupcast) transmission, and broadcast (broadcast) transmission, where both unicast transmission and groupcast transmission need to support HARQ feedback. For example, for unicast transmission, the RX UE may feed back an ACK or NACK on a physical sidelink feedback channel (Physical Sidelink Feedback channel, PSFCH). At the same time, the TX UE may perceive a discontinuous transmission (Discontinuous Transmission, DTX) state. For example, for groupcast transmission, there are at least two feedback forms. First, all RX UEs share a PSFCH resource and feed back only NACKs, and the TX UE cannot perceive a DTX state in this case. Second, the RX UEs occupy different PSFCH resources, the RX UEs feed back an ACK or NACK on respective resources, and the TX UE is able to perceive the DTX state.
[0054] In this implementation, the receive terminal may perform HARQ feedback to the transmit terminal, the transmit terminal may determine, based on the feedback status of the receive terminal, whether the receive terminal can receive data successfully. If the receive terminal cannot receive data successfully, this is more likely caused by a resource conflict for the transmit terminal. In view of this, the transmit terminal may determine, based on the HARQ feedback status of the receive terminal, whether a resource conflict occurs, so as to determine whether the trigger condition of resource reselection is satisfied.
[0055] Optionally, in a case that at least one of the following conditions is satisfied, it is determined that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied:
consecutive M DTXs or NACKs have been detected, where M is greater than or equal to a first threshold, or the total number of TBs corresponding to the consecutive M DTXs or NACKs is greater than or equal to a second threshold;
L DTXs or NACKs within a time window have been detected, where L is greater than or equal to a third threshold, or the total number of TBs corresponding to the L DTXs or NACKs within the time window is greater than or equal to a fourth threshold;
consecutive K DTXs or NACKs for initial transmission (initial transmission) of TBs have been detected, where K is greater than or equal to a fifth threshold, or the total number of TBs corresponding to the consecutive K DTXs or NACKs for initial transmission of TBs is greater than or equal to a sixth threshold; and
P DTXs or NACKs for initial transmission of TBs have been detected, where P is greater than or equal to a seventh threshold, or the total number of TBs corresponding to the P DTXs or NACKs for initial transmission of TBs is greater than or equal to an eighth threshold.
[0056] The time window may include parameters such as a starting position of the time window and a length of the time window, and the time window may be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured.
[0057] In this implementation, a time point at which the transmit terminal detects a DTX or an NACK may be used as the starting position of the time window.
[0058] In this implementation, regardless of whether a DTX or an NACK is detected by the transmit terminal, it may indicate that the receive terminal cannot successfully receive data. The DTX or NACK being detected may be construed that either a DTX being detected or an NACK being detected belongs to the DTX or NACK being detected.
[0059] In the foregoing scenarios, the total number of DTXs or NACKs may be greater than or equal to a threshold prescribed by the protocol, or may be greater than or equal to a threshold configured by the control node, or may be greater than or equal to a preconfigured threshold; or, the total number of TBs corresponding to the DTXs or NACKs may be greater than or equal to a threshold prescribed by the protocol, or may be greater than or equal to a threshold configured by the control node, or may be greater than or equal to a preconfigured threshold. In other words, any one of the foregoing first threshold to the eighth threshold may be prescribed by the protocol, or may be configured by the control node, or may be preconfigured.
[0060] In this implementation, a larger value of the total number of DTXs or NACKs, or a larger value of the total number of TBs corresponding to DTXs or NACKs may indicate a greater impact resulting from a resource conflict of the transmit terminal. In order to ensure reliability and effectiveness of sidelink transmission, in a case that at least one of the foregoing conditions is satisfied, the transmit terminal may determine that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, and performs a resource reselection operation or a related adjustment operation.
[0061] In sidelink transmission, such as physical sidelink control channel (Physical Sidelink Control Channel, PSCCH) transmission or physical sidelink shared channel (Physical Sidelink Shared Channel, PSSCH) transmission, the transmit terminal may reserve a transmission resource for next transmission (new transmission or retransmission), or may reserve a transmission resource for a plurality of transmissions. For example, the transmit terminal may reserve a transmission resource for the next TB transmission by using a "periodic reservation field" in sidelink control information (SL Control Information, SCI), or the transmit terminal may reserve a retransmission resource for a current TB transmission by using a "time domain resource indication field" in the SCI.
[0062] Optionally, the DTX includes at least one of the following:
a DTX transmitted on a periodically reserved resource;
a DTX transmitted on an aperiodically reserved resource; and
a DTX transmitted on a resource reserved by using same SCI; or,
the NACK includes at least one of the following:
a NACK transmitted on a periodically reserved resource;
a NACK transmitted on an aperiodically reserved resource; and
a NACK transmitted on a resource reserved by using same SCI.
[0063] In this implementation, a plurality of consecutive DTXs or NACKs may be DTXs or NACKs transmitted on periodically reserved resources. For example, the periodically reserved resources may be resources reserved by using the "periodic reservation field", as shown in FIG. 7. In FIG. 7, all resources are resources of the transmit terminal, and the periodically reserved resources (indicated by slashed rectangles) are calculated as continuous resources, numbered "#1" to "#6".
[0064] The plurality of consecutive DTXs or NACKs may alternatively be DTXs or NACKs transmitted on aperiodically reserved resources, for example, the aperiodically reserved resources may be resources reserved by using the "time domain resource indication field".
[0065] The plurality of consecutive DTXs or NACKs may alternatively include both DTXs or NACKs transmitted on periodically reserved resources and DTXs or NACKs transmitted on aperiodically reserved resources, as shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, all resources are resources of the transmit terminal, and the periodically reserved resources (indicated by slashed rectangles) and the aperiodically reserved resources (indicated by blank rectangles) are calculated as continuous resources, numbered "#1" to "#8".
[0066] The plurality of consecutive DTXs or NACKs may alternatively be DTXs or NACKs transmitted on resources reserved by using same SCI.
[0067] Correspondingly, the plurality of DTXs or NACKs within the time window may be DTXs or NACKs transmitted on periodically reserved resources; or may be DTXs or NACKs transmitted on aperiodically reserved resources; or may include DTXs or NACKs transmitted on periodically reserved resources and also include DTXs or NACKs transmitted on the aperiodically reserved resources; or may be DTXs or NACKs transmitted on resources reserved by using same SCI.
[0068] In sidelink transmission based on HARQ feedback, a DTX detected by the transmit terminal may be caused by a resource conflict of the transmit terminal or caused by the receive terminal being located beyond the valid communication range. In view of this, in sidelink transmission based on HARQ feedback, in the case that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, the transmit terminal needs to further determine whether the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range, so as to exclude a factor that the receive terminal is located beyond the valid communication range. The corresponding optional implementations are as follows:
in a case of sidelink transmission based on HARQ feedback, the transmit terminal determines, based on a feedback status of the receive terminal, whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied;
in a case that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, determines whether the receive terminal is located within a valid communication range; and
performs the first operation in a case that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range.
[0069] Optionally, in a case that at least one of the following conditions is satisfied, it is determined that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range:
the transmit terminal has received reverse information from the receive terminal;
a distance between the transmit terminal and the receive terminal is less than or equal to a ninth threshold; and
an information transmission energy of the receive terminal is greater than or equal to a tenth threshold.
[0070] If the transmit terminal can receive reverse information transmission from the receive terminal, for example, PSCCH, PSSCH, or PSFCH transmission from the RX UE to the TX UE, it may indicate that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range. If the distance between the transmit terminal and the receive terminal is less than or equal to the ninth threshold, and the ninth threshold may be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured, it may indicate that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range. If the information transmission energy of the receive terminal is greater than or equal to the tenth threshold, for example, a parameter such as a reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP), a received signal strength indicator (Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI), a reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ), or a signal to interference plus noise ratio (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, SINR), and the tenth threshold may be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured, it may indicate that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range. An RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, or SINR value of the receive terminal may be reported by the receive terminal to the transmit terminal, or may be obtained through measurement by the transmit terminal.
[0071] In this implementation, in a case that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied, the transmit terminal may further determine whether the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range, and the transmit terminal performs the first operation only when the transmit terminal determines that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range.
[0072] In this implementation, whether the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range is determined, so as to determine whether the transmit terminal needs to perform the first operation. In a case that the receive terminal is located within the valid communication range, the transmit terminal may perform the first operation to resolve the problem that data transmission is affected by a resource conflict. The transmit terminal may not perform the first operation in a case that the receive terminal is located beyond the valid communication range.
[0073] The foregoing provides related descriptions of the implementation of determining whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied in sidelink transmission based on HARQ feedback.
[0074] The following describes an implementation in which the transmit terminal determines, based on a notification message sent by the receive terminal, whether the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied.
[0075] Optionally, in a case that the following condition is satisfied, it is determined that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied:
the transmit terminal receives a first message sent by the receive terminal, where the first message includes at least one of resource conflict information and resource reselection trigger information.
[0076] In this implementation, when a message sent by the receive terminal includes resource conflict information or resource reselection trigger information, the transmit terminal may determine that the trigger condition for resource reselection is satisfied.
[0077] A bearing resource of the first message may include at least one of a PSCCH, a PSSCH, a PSFCH, and a first resource.
[0078] The first resource may include at least one frequency domain resource and at least one time domain resource, the frequency domain resource may include a sub-channel (sub-channel) or a physical resource block (Physical Resource Block, PRB), and the time domain resource may include a slot (slot) or a sub-slot (sub-slot).
[0079] The bearing resource of the first message may be an independent PSCCH, such as a standalone PSCCH; the bearing resource of the first message may be a PSCCH associated with a PSSCH, such as 1st stage SCI in PSCCH; the bearing resource of the first message may be a PSSCH, for example, 2nd stage SCI in PSSCH, or a medium access control (Medium Access Control, MAC) control element (Control Element, CE)/radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) in PSSCH; or the bearing resource of the first message may be a PSFCH. The first resource may be a PSCCH formed by one (or more) sub-channel (or PRB) and one (or more) slot (or sub-slot), or may be a PSSCH formed by one (or more) sub-channel (or PRB) and one (or more) slot (or sub-slot).
[0080] Content of the first message may include at least one of the following:
an identifier of the resource reselection trigger information;
an identifier of the receive terminal;
an identifier of the transmit terminal;
position information of a conflict resource;
a type of the conflict resource, where the type of the resource includes a periodically reserved resource or an aperiodically reserved resource; and
energy monitoring information.
[0081] The identifier of the resource reselection triggering information is used to indicate that the first message carries signaling for triggering the transmit terminal to perform resource reselection. The identifier of the transmit terminal may be an ID of a transmit terminal that needs to trigger resource reselection, or may be an ID of a transmit terminal with a resource conflict, and the identifier of the transmit terminal may be an ID corresponding to a broadcast transmission type. The position information of the conflict resource may include time domain information of the resource, and may also include frequency domain information of the resource. The energy detection information may include RSRP, RSRQ, RSSI, SNR, SINR, or the like, and the energy detection information may be obtained through measurement by the receive terminal from a plurality of transmit terminals.
[0082] In this implementation, the receive terminal may determine, based on a channel monitoring result, whether there is a resource conflict for the resource of the transmit terminal, and send the first message to the transmit terminal if there is a resource conflict for the resource of the transmit terminal. The following describes a plurality of optional implementation manners in which the receive terminal determines, based on a channel monitoring result, whether there is a resource conflict for the resource of the transmit terminal.
[0083] Manner 1: The receive terminal determines, based on resource reservation signaling of the transmit terminal, whether there is a resource conflict for the resource of the transmit terminal.
[0084] In this manner, the receive terminal may receive resource reservation signaling sent by the N transmit terminals, and the receive terminal determine, based on the resource reservation signaling of the N transmit terminals, whether there is a resource conflict for a resource of a first transmit terminal.
[0085] The N transmit terminals include the first transmit terminal, and N is greater than or equal to 1. Transmission between the N transmit terminals and the receive terminal may include any one of unicast transmission (for example, PC5-RRC connections are present between the receive terminal and the transmit terminals), groupcast transmission, and broadcast transmission.
[0086] In this manner, in a case that at least one of the following conditions is satisfied, it is determined that there is a resource conflict for the resource of the first transmit terminal:
resource reservation signaling of the first transmit terminal includes an overlapping resource;
an energy of resource reservation signaling of the first transmit terminal is greater than a first threshold;
an energy difference between the resource reservation signaling of the first transmit terminal and resource reservation signaling of a second transmit terminal is greater than a second threshold, and the N transmit terminals include the second transmit terminal; and
an energy ratio of the resource reservation signaling of the first transmit terminal to resource reservation signaling of a third transmit terminal is greater than a third threshold, and the N transmit terminals include the third transmit terminal.
[0087] Any one of the foregoing first threshold to the third threshold may be prescribed by the protocol, or may be configured by the control node, or may be preconfigured. The energy may be expressed as a parameter, such as RSRP, RSSI, or RSRQ.
[0088] Manner 2: The receive terminal determines, based on a channel monitoring result (or a blind detection result), whether there is a resource conflict for the resource of the transmit terminal.
[0089] In this manner, the receive terminal may determine, based on a monitoring result of a first channel, whether there is a resource conflict for the resource of the first transmit terminal.
[0091] In this manner, in a case that at least one of the following conditions is satisfied, it is determined that there is a resource conflict for the resource of the first transmit terminal:
no control information or data information of the first channel is detected;
an energy of a first resource on the first channel is greater than a fourth threshold, and the first resource is a resource, corresponding to the first transmit terminal, on the first channel; and
a detected SINR or signal to noise ratio (Signal Noise Ratio, SNR) of a second resource on the first channel is greater than a fifth threshold, and the second resource is a resource, corresponding to the first transmit terminal, on the first channel.
[0092] Any one of the foregoing fourth threshold and the fifth threshold may be prescribed by the protocol, or may be configured by the control node, or may be preconfigured. The energy may be expressed as a parameter, such as RSRP, RSSI, or RSRQ.
[0093] This manner is mostly applicable to a case in which the PSCCH can be successfully detected but the PSSCH cannot be successfully detected.
[0094] It should be noted that the receive terminal may alternatively combine the foregoing manners 1 and 2, so as to determine whether there is a resource conflict for the resource of the transmit terminal. To avoid repetition, details are not described herein again.
[0095] In this implementation, in a case that the receive terminal determines that there is a resource conflict for the resource of the first transmit terminal, the receive terminal may send the first message to the first transmit terminal. An occasion at which the receive terminal sends the first message to the first transmit terminal needs to conform to a delay limit predefined by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured. For example, the first transmit terminal sends the first message before M time domain units prior to the resource conflict; for another example, the receive terminal may send the first message to the first transmit terminal within L time domain units after the resource conflict is detected. The time domain unit in which the receive terminal sends the first message may be autonomously selected by the receive terminal.
[0096] M may be predefined by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured. In addition, a value range of M may also be predefined by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured; a maximum value of M may also be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured; and a minimum value of M may also be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured.
[0097] L may be predefined by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured. In addition, a value range of L may also be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured; a maximum value of L may also be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured; and a minimum value of L may also be prescribed by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured.
[0098] In addition, a target transmit terminal (that is, the first transmit terminal) to which the receive terminal sends the first message may be determined by the receive terminal, or may be determined by the receive terminal according to a rule that is predefined by the protocol, configured by the control node, or preconfigured.
[0099] The foregoing provides related descriptions of a plurality of optional implementations in which the receive terminal determines, based on a channel monitoring result, whether there is a resource conflict for the resource of the transmit terminal.
[0100] It should be noted that various optional implementations described in this embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in combination with each other or may be implemented independently, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
